Overview
Please note this is not a Swansea city council job. You will be working with a private client who received direct payments.
A little about myself: I am a young boy with ASD and GDD. I like to run and spin around. My favourite thing is my spinning chair. I like the park and I like to play in the water. I have no awareness of danger and will run off if I see something interesting so you will need to keep a close eye on me. If I become distressed, then it helps me to calm down if you make sure I am safe and let me run around.
